I have lived in Center Moriches most of my life and in my childhood home as well and I am 77 years of age. My Dad was a member when I was a little girl. I am so proud of the all the volunteers who put their lives on the line for our community. I still get excited when Santa Claus comes by my home on the Fire Truck. Doesn't matter how old we are the pride is always with us. We live in a wonderful community and we have such good people protecting us. Thank you all for your outstanding service!

Joined the department in 1968 after returning from Viet Nam. Served until injured in auto accident in August of 1969. Have lived in Colorado since 1984 but still think of the time in the department and the job you all keep doing year after year. Well done, proud to have been associated with you even for a short time.

East/Center Moriches was home for 20 years while growing up. Found this site while looking for info on SANDY and the damage to the island , via my sister Sharon. The Shoreliner resturant was in the family for several years, I remember the soft shell crab sandwiches in particular.

I just want to thank you for the pictures and info from Sandy. As a former CM resident (and daughter of a former CMFD/Engine 2 member), I knew I could count on the CMFD for the latest on this disaster.
Please know that you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. May God keep you all safe.
Sincerely,

I grew up in Center Moriches and graduated from CMHS many years ago. I lived on Railroad Ave and myself and many other kids would frequently respond to the fire house when the siren blew. I became acquainted with many fireman and became familiar with the appratus. I recall Engine's 3 and 1 both being Dodges. E-3 a 1936 and E-1 a 1939? they were referred to as the little Dodge and the big Dodge. Engine 2 was the newest a 1946 Ward LaFrance. All equipment was then housed in the old fire house closest to Clinton St. I also remember being allowed on occasion to watch one of the few TV'S in town, upstairs in the fire hall. It had a very small screen with a magnifing glass. Many good memories. Good site.

VERY nicely done... Been checking this website for years waiting for updates As a child growing up with a father who was a member the archives and historical information brings back many memories. Although unfortunately I can remember when some of the now retired apparatus was brand new
Great Site I may have some old pictures of your old apparatus.
